Paris & London are the latest cities in the Creator postcard sub-theme. Both the Paris Postcard (40568) and the London Postcard (40569) feature iconic landmarks in a slim, compact model. The postcard sub-theme is a microscale theme similar to the Architecture line and have many similarities to the Architecture skyline sub-theme. However, the postcards are even more compact. These are

The Creator 3-in-1 theme often produces fun buildings. The Surfer Beach House (31118) is no exception. The early images of the set intrigued me because they evoke memories of beach vacations.
